Tool tips in Buttons

Hello,

I have been asked if a team can put a tool tip on a button. The tool tip would be activated on hover.
I can think of many different reasons not to do this but I am looking specifically for any issues regarding accessibility. Does a tool tip on a button break accessibility?

Thanks
Christine

Accessibility is everyone's business.
